'The human consciousness had now widened so alarmingly, was so busy transforming everything on Earth into its own peculiar tones, that no art could exist that did not take proper cognisance of the fact. Something entirely new had to be forged.' The time traveller Bush's adventure takes him through 1930, 1851, the Jurassic and 2093, on the way exploring a modern crisis that remains our own. In Brian Aldiss's tale of time travel, the fiction is once again as psychologically imaginative as it is scientific, an idiosyncrasy of Aldiss's future visions that, over time, have proven remarkably prescient.

Well Worth Your Time

I first read this book about twenty years ago and I still remember it fondly. In fact, I actually liked it so much I read it three times at various times throughout my life.
Every one wants pro's and con's, but I honestly have no 'cons' in regard to this book. If you like time travel based sci-fi in any form, then I can almost guarantee you'll love this book.
As to the other reviewer who said they read this book in a day, I would simply assume they read everybook in a day. It's not a short book at all, unless you compare it to 'Dune' maybe, but otherwise it's a meaty book that will keep you thinking as you read it. Then again, I like to savor good books on the journey reading them, and this was one of them.
Well worth the time for any time travel fan.

Rating System:

2 star = poor; a total waste of time
3 star = good; worth the effort
4 star = very good; what writing should be
5 star = fantastic; must own it and share it with others

STORY: People are able to time travel via a method calld mind-travel. This fad has led to the economic breakdown of the future and martial law initiated. For one man, he is tasked to track down a outlaw of the state in order to save the word from further chaos.
MY FEEDBACK:
Pro: Book is a very fast read (read all 190pgs in a day). That also means the author doesn't waste time getting to the point
Pro: Very different take on the time travel idea. Believable and well delivered
Pro: In very few pages we really get into the character of the main protagonist. Regardless if you like the protagonist or not, Aldiss does some good character development here.
Con: Towards the end he goes on for about 40+ pages trying to explain some theories. It was just a little long for me especially when you consider that is 20% of the entire book
Pro: Leaves you thinking in the end
OVERALL: I liked it and it kept my interest. I thought it would have been great if it didn't get so overly complex towards the end and give me a headache. Great classic sci-fi otherwise.

I tried it but...

I've always seen Mr. Aldiss on the bookseller shelves. I firgured that an author with such staying power deserved a try out on the Kindle freebie list. However, I could not finish the book. The hero may have matured with the story but I lost interest in what I considered to be a bleak depiction of our future society and their forms of research and amusement. I admit I'm more a fan of bright optimism.
